MR.. LAMAR AND THE SUPREME COURT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81 tSpecial.-Nobody seems to
doubt but that Secretary Lamar will be nominated to
the Supreme Court Bench after the assembling OF
Congress. Some speculation Is INDUCED in as to his
chances Of confirmation. The courtesy OF the Senate
which protects with the cloak Of charity all former
members of that body will probably pull Mr.. Lamar
through. When MT. Cushing nominated for q place
upon the Supreme Court Bench he was defeated in tho
Senate because of letter OF introduction which he had
given 10 a young friend OF his to be presented to
Jefferson Davis Mr. Lamar has gone fnrtner than this

Killing Beef for Hebrews-

As is well known, the Israelities are
very particular as to the use Of butchers
meat, which, in order to be kosher. e.,
TO comply with the ritual requirements
ought only to be taken from animals that
are killed not only in the presence of,
but by q person of the faith, specially ap-
pointed for the purpose. Complaints in
this respect have been of frequent occur
renee, many butchers or dealers Of game
and fowl offering their Jewish clients
''unclean" meat. At a recent trial of
this kind in Berlin the rabbi of the prin-
cipal synagogue was called upon the
stand and testified a follows: 1.-THE
Mosaic law requires that the Jew butcher
be a person Of good reputation and
morals, and, after undergoing an ex
animation by the rabbi, should only ex-
ercisc his particular function on the
strength Of a certificate. One Of the
tests of his fitness for the place consists
in promptly r~esharpening a knife which
the rabbi has purposely blunted. Dur
ing the act Of butchering lac has 10 say
certain prayers; he must see that the
blood falls upon the ashes of peat, and,
above all things, he must avoid being
touched by any one while in the act, this
in itself rendering the slaughtered animal
unclean. He is required to put his seal
upon the carcass, giving the date on
which the animal is killed. No I~sraelite
is permitted to eat fowl which has been
killed more than three days before. -

A Cure for Insomnia.

II you are troubled with insomnia

thoroughly dry them. Haul taut your
mosquito bar, let your head lie low, and,
like the pious country blacksmith in his
pew at church, close your eyes and think
Of nothing. The cold water drives the
blood TO the head and produces a sopor-
ifc effect. One Of the big Portuguese
